Missing post

A keen observer pointed out that I forgot to post a missing person of the week last week (as I said I would do a while back when I posted info on some cold cases). And then he suggested someone to feature.

Osama Bin Laden

I sincerely doubt that a post about the (depending on your political and religious leanings) most reviled person on the planet or the biggest hero of Islam would do much good in finding him. Do they have wireless internet access in Tora Bora? Most likely, no.

But the person who suggested it will be pleased I took his advice. So if you see Osama, call the authorities. Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming:

Jason Jolkowski—This adorable young man, sometimes known as J.J., disappeared from his Omaha, Neb., home in June 2001. No sign or word from him since. Some people have suggested he's a runaway, but his family says that's improbable. People do not just vanish into thin air. Someone knows something.

Rachel Cooke—What a picture of the "all-american girl." An accomplished cross-country runner, 20-year-old Rachel left her home near Georgetown, Texas, Jan. 10, 2002, for her morning jog. Sometime around 11 a.m., she disappeared. Beautiful girl. Jogging alone. No signs of her. The only conclusions people have come up with are disturbing ones. Particularly heart wrenching is the online journal her father has kept since she went missing. It's on the rachelcookesearch.org web site you can get to by clicking on her name above.

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
